Entrepreneurship is better taught in the home than at school. It’s hard to institutionalize the cultivation of entrepreneurship. Career teachers can’t relate.
Last summer, we helped our 6-year-old son sell tomatoes from our garden. He setup a tomato stand and some signage in a high traffic area. He learned hard work, marketing, and sales negotiations. The farming bug we caught has provided our family with rich teaching opportunities for our kids, such as making money from produce.
At its core, entrepreneurship is about production, creating value faster and better than the status quo. It carries with it a sense of belonging to a noble cause, not unlike the feeling that persuades many to pursue a career in medicine. It is full of excitement, terror, and a world of experience. It’s awesome!
The video below is fantastic. I love the childhood experiences that are shared. Enjoy!
